ISLISP

"ISLISP was designed on the bases of KL (proposed by Japan) and CLOS
(proposed by US), reflecting experiences of COMMON LISP, EULISP, LE LISP,
and SCHEME, and taking into account common practices in the Lisp community.
ISLISP is a small Lisp, but it is designed with extensibility in mind,
trying to keep compatibility with existing Lisp dialects, too.

ISLISP would be embeddable in COMMON LISP implementations without big
efforts, but ISLISP will promote efficient implementations if it is
implemented from scratch. ISO ISLISP, ANSI COMMON LISP and IEEE SCHEME would
be co-existing and complementary in the Lisp community, since they have
their own distinctive features in languages, systems, and applications."
